Current Stage Info:
The "FakeShiki" is an homage to my first real road-worthy roadbike, a salmon pearl fade 87 nishiki sport that I rode in college. The original met its fate by front end collision with an accord turning left in front of me. This will grace marymoor and my slow legs.

These paint jobs that you get done are absolutely gorgeous. Even the pearl pink to white is astonishingly beautiful, and also unique. This thing is beautiful, and that's coming from someone who hates FTPs. lol

awesome FTP, nice build!
but gotta ask you, why i05TR?! IMO it makes the whole bikes looks "thin" :'-(

i really really want an alpina fork but i can't source one, and i didn't know any comparable 30 rake forks that were available at the time. in terms of satisfaction vs cost it's the worst. it's the same as the raleigh rush hour pro fork since 2007, just drilled, and the atc is crazy high.

you can buy an alpina fork from low bicycles. its how i got mine, i just emailed him and he gave me the price

you can buy them direcly from dolan bikes... thats where many framemakers get them from i think. but low could be cheaper as he will order many forks and can sell them cheaper than someone ordering just one and paying for shipping + tax!

I have a rush hour pro fork on there now. Richie, you're right. the rush hour pro fork is not drilled. otherwise tho, same frok.

You sold it!?! Somebody bought it with the nishiki paint!?! Did you just sell the frame or the whole bike and what did you get for it?

i sold it to a friend who i've ridden with for years. she's racing track and i let it go for the cost of the frame, fork, and powdercoat. forget the wheels, i'm just glad it will see the track again.
